Icons indicating whether task has Description/Comments
Hi,
I would like if the tasks could show little icons to indicate the activity and content of a task, namely whether it has a description, comments, or attachments. The icons would be of a similar nature to the sub-task icon, and in the case of comments would likewise have a number, plus ideally some indicator of unread status. Ideally they would be shown on at least the list and board views, if not gantt as well.
Having these icons at a glance - as many other project management softwares do - improve efficiency by providing context for what next steps are in reviewing that task. For example, did I put everything in the title or did I write a description for a task? Can't remember, have to check; again and again and again. Was there any discussion on this? I forgot. Have to check. Again and again and again.
Thanks.
Yes please I totally agree!! I don't want to have to export to Excel every time I need to see all of the notes on tasks, or whether there is even a note on a task.
Was about to post my own recommendation, but came across this. I can't emphasize enough how useful of a simple feature like this would be. The icon is there for file attachments, and the actual icon exists for commentary on files (speech bubble with a number), so adding this as an icon to the actual task list would be a huge (and seemingly straightforward) addition to the UI.
A simple tool like Basecamp has this feature — a simple addition to the line item within the task list that says "[#] comments":
Attaching a screenshot of what I'm referencing, just for clarity.
Yes! This would be super helpful to my team! I need to know if someone's responded to the last comment without having to open up the whole discussion.

This would be extremely helpful for my team as well. It's hard to know if a task has a description, and makes it easy to miss something that might be in the description.
Thanks for adding your support for this suggestion Renee Colbert 👍🏼
this would be great, considering changing to a platform that has this as its been requested for 3 years now and still no sign of it
